I've gotta find a better solution for my treestand straps. I looked for Molle straps but couldn't find any under $100. Tried ALICE straps on a cheap flyer and they suck. I found the below XOP straps in a search and they seem to be what I'm looking for. Anyone used these, or have other suggestions that won't break the bank?

I use these on a summit climber and they do the job pretty well. You might have to play around with different attachment spots to find a setup that's comfortable, distributes weight evenly, and doesn't cause annoying clinks and clanks when walking. But for the money I like mine.
 
I've used one like this for the past few seasons, just zip-tied it to my xop air raid evolution. It is much more comfortable than the straps that come with the stand. The only downside is your stand is much easier to spot from the ground if you don't have sufficient back cover.
 
I am using the XOP saddle kit & stixs.

I just bunjie/strap the stixs on an old hunting backpack and put rest in pack. Bet you have lots of options laying around if you get creative...

Do you leave the strap/pack on the platform when you climb?
 
Quake makes some that are similar to the slings they sell, Iv honestly never found a comfortable way to carry a treestand!

This ^^^^^.

Best system I've found for hauling my Summit climber. Much easier. Yep, had to work with different attachment points and got that figured out. Still need to figure out the clanks, but not sure those are the XOP system.
 
Currently have an old backpack that has shoulder straps and waist belt zip-tied to my summit. Works pretty good as a transport system.

Mind showing some pics on how it's attached? Thanks.

Go on sportsman guide and go to army surplus. Mille belt and straps are the best money can buy and we'll under 100 for both the straps and kidney belt. At least it use to be. Been a few years since I bought any but gave like 60 bucks for both. And nothing will compare to it for carrying a stand. Unless someone else carry's it in for you. Lol.

Like others have said, I also use one for a Goliath 180 stand & I'm very pleased. Have since moved to a saddle and platform but this made my climber much more comfortable to carry.
 
I just use the ones that came with my Summit. Of course, I don't hike in as far as I did years ago.

Lately 700-800 yards is just about far enough for me, considering the extraction of game from that far out as well.
